Villa Maria Reserve Pinot Noir

From Villa Maria, this Reserve Pinot Noir comes from Marlborough in New Zealand, with fruit sourced from vineyards in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Hand-harvested bunches are fermented in open-top fermenters, then matured for ten months in a combination of new and one-year-old French oak barrels.

The result is a rich, fleshy red with the silky texture associated with fine Pinot Noir. Its polished style makes it well suited to the table and to more considered drinking occasions.
